Spyderco Forums

Picked up mine from the post office today. First Endela, though I have a few Delicas and an Endura. I think I like this in-between size.

An odd one: I'd like to see the Schempp Equilibrium return. But not in the original form, because I really don't like stainless handles, so either in G10 or FRN. The Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite is basically a FRN (Er, Griv-Ex) Equilibrium with a backlock. I've found mine really comes in handy as a se...

All the discontinued models, of course. But if I had to choose... Barong and Khukri in HAP40, M4, Super Blue, K390, etc.... and with the Barong sharpened further towards the handle a la a Krein Regrind style. WolfSpyder, Nilakka and Lil' Nilakka in AEB-L. Spyderhawk. Lum Chinese and Lil' Lum with a...

The Military is tip-down only, the original Paramilitary was tip-down only, the PM2 comes tip-down from the factory... The Para3 coming the other way around is the odd man out here.

The serrated blades on most Leatherman tools are ground in the opposite directions from Spyderco's, if anyone wants to do a head-on comparison between the styles to see which works better for them.

Most of the models it's offered in regular production aren't ones I really care for... might get a Native with it someday.

I'd love to see a Kapara in it or S90V, though.

I’d get one if it had a black blade.

They did put out a black blade version of the Delica in this handle/steel pattern, so if this one sells well I don't see that version being out of the question for the Endela too.

Is the serrated Manbug Wharncliffe in stock anywhere yet?

I like swayback patterns, so I was excited when I heard Spyderco was going to release one, but I'm just not a fan of all-metal handles in bigger knives, so I had to pass on it.

I have two small Wright's - a Frontier First (D2) and Coyote (A2), and one big (Scandi-ground GNS, also A2), and they're all great knives. Have to see if I can get pictures this weekend...

Just got a Leatherman Free T4; going to try carrying just it for a few days.

While I'd prefer a PE sprint in 3V or Cruwear for outdoors use (Not that the cast 440C version is lacking in that regard), the Serrata practically demands a serrated version at some point. It's even in the name!

What would be wrong in doing a Sprint Run of a deceased former collaborator? That is if it didn't pose any problems for Spyderco from a legal contract standpoint. Well, there was the recent Viele Phoenix sprint. And the Lum Darn Dao (And didn't the Lil' Lum come out after he died too?). So it's pos...

Mine finally showed up a couple of days ago. The green's not as vivid as I was hoping for from the pictures, but it'll see some use anyways. When I moved the clip from tip-down to tip-up, one of the screws had the threads at its tip stripped off. That had me worried for a bit, but it still screwed i...

Chad Los Banos. He moved on to Boker after the Lava, but I'd love to see more of his small knives with the Spydie touch.

More from the guy who did the Hundred Pacer, too.

Also I don't know if Howard Viele is still with us or still doing knives...

Unfortunately, no. He passed away in 2019: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituar ... le-8216284

I bought one a few months ago, and would buy another one if it came out in an upgraded steel. Great little knife. Wouldn't mind seeing an upsized version too.

I'd be happy to see XHP replace S30V all around.

I know they've said that Endura exclusives don't sell very well. Maybe an Endela first to test the waters?

I was planning on waiting for the crucarta version as my first PM2, but... I like this color combo and the steel. My bank account is screaming in agony again.
